Rehab Resident of the Week

This week's Rehab Resident of the Week Award goes to unexpected newcomer, Jesse Metcalfe. The Desperate Housewives hottie apparently checked himself into an LA treatment clinic following a four-day drinking binge this week. According to reports his behaviour became aggressive when he was refused a guest room at an LA hotel for being drunk and disorderly.

If Jesse is serious about overcoming his drink demons, as his representative suggests, we say good luck to him. But one can't help wondering if these Hollywood stars really understand the meaning of rehab. Perhaps they need a little reminder...

Rehab rule #1
Rehab is not an alternative late-night party venue to move onto when you're too drunk to gain entry into your favourite hotel/private members bar.
Rehab rule #2
A four-day drinking binge is bad for your health but does not necessarily constitute a long-term drinking problem. If we all booked ourselves in for treatment every time we had a heavy weekend on the booze, rehab centres would have longer waiting lists than the NHS.

Rehab rule #3
Completing two days of your four-week rehabilitation programme then checking yourself out and heading off for a 48 hour celebratory bender will not help you overcome your addictions (you know who you are).

Rehab rule #4
Yes, checking in and out of rehab will get your name in the papers, but no, it will not further your career.

Will Jesse and Nadine Coyle's relationship last?
